Rey and Kylo Ren battle it out in a lightsaber fight for the ages in the latest and final trailer forStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
The trailer dropped in the middle of Monday night football with fans anticipating the release and keeping the film title trending for the majority of the night on Twitter.
“People keep telling me they know me,”Daisy Ridley‘s Rey says in the video. “No one does.”
Her nemesis, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), interjects with, “But I do.”
The two are at odds, facing off in a watery planet (presumably the Forest Moon of Endor), but the tides soon change as they both confront a dark object, which some fans believe to be Darth Vader’s mask, and send it crashing to the ground in pieces — similar to the way they briefly joining forces inThe Last Jedi.
Two figures from the past were also featured in the trailer: Luke, who died in the last film, and Emperor Palpatine, who may actually be seen briefly in a standoff with Rey.
“Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi,” Luke says. “Your destiny.”
